I'm really enjoying it at the moment, it has me hooked from the start, the world building is excellent.

Last night I finished reading Shut Your Eyes Tight by John Verdon and it was absolutely brilliant. There's a twist at the end which I didn't see coming...genius!!! I'm now going to look for Think of A Number, the 1st Dave Gurney book.

And on a different note...today I started Lady of The Rivers byPhilippa Gregory, an author who I really love.

Nothing like a bit of variety!

Really enjoyed the first "Mortal Instruments" book, and "Cold Killing" was a good start to a new detective series but it didnt blow me away.

Now reading :

Print Book: The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde
Kindle : Unravelling by Elizabeth Norris.

Might look out for that as i quite liked the first one.

Currently reading Gone Girl - let's see what the hype is all about.

I'm trying to read the 6 shortlisted book for the 'Booker Prize', so I am currently halfway through 'The Lighthouse' by Alison Moore.

It is a short enough book and seems simplistic, but it has, in my view many hidden depths. I am enjoying it which is much, much more than I can say for one of the other short-listed books - 'Umbrella' by Will Self which I abandoned last week, 176 pages in due to the fact I couldn't make head nor tail of.

I'll almost never abandon a book, but had to with that one has I had to force myself to read even a paragraph each night in bed - so many good books to read, which waste time on one that you don't find enjoyable

Going away for a few days so next is up is 'Next of Kin' by John Boyne, who wrote 'THe Boy in the Striped Pyjama's'.

Just finished this. Let us know what you think

I now follow that motto. I used to be unable to not finish a book despite how bad it was but now I just abandon a bad book and move on.

I do most of my reading in bed at night and now if I know if a book isn't for me, if I want to watch telly and not read it. I have to be drawn into a book - eager to know what happens next move on.

Just started The little coffee shop of Kabul,it has started well so I hope It keeps me interested,i have given up on that many lately I need something I can finish.

80 pages in on Sanctus by Simon Toyne.

The Chosen One by Sam Bourne. It is much better than I thought it might be.

Finished Jonathan Swift's "Gullivers Travels" .on my list of classics to read .... I can see why its so highly regarded and a trailblazer for novels/books in the adventure/traveller genre. Seen by many as a children's book .. Can't see many kids these days joining Gulliver on his travels.

Finished the latest Harry Hole "Phantom" by Jo Nesbo. To enjoy the Harry Hole novels, one must read them in sequence. The full force of "Phantom" will only be appreciated by doing that.

Casey Kelleher- Rise and Fall

I am in the middle of this and I'm really enjoying it. It's gently funny and makes a lovely change from the many formulaic crime novels I read.

It reminds me a little bit of 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night', which I also enjoyed.

Coincidentally I also just finished 'Expats' too - it was OK but I wasn't overly impressed. By the time all the layers of confusion finally unravelled, I didn't really care what the ending was.

Just started Long Walk to Freedom.

Well Jasper Fforde didnt let me down and Unravelling was a great addition to the YA genre.

Now I'm reading

Print Book: Trick of the Dark - Val Mcdermid
Kindle: Hushabye by Celina Grace.

Enjoying both!

Just finished The 100 year old man who climbed out of the window. Really enjoyed it.

Now onto Memories of Ice - Steven Erikson

I enjoyed it, probably one of the most enjoyable books I've read this year. I'm not sure it's the most amazing book I've ever read but I would seek out more by the author

Sit Down And Cheer - Martin Kelner

The Cinderella Moment - Gemma Fox
A case of mistaken identity in multitudes, bungling private detectives, a chance meeting with a handsome man on a train, leads to all sorts of trouble.
I found this, a bit of giggle, despite that I didn't think I'd like it, but definetly a story to cheer you up.
Takes place in and around Brighton.

Read Thomas Love Peacock's "Nightmare Abbey" in one sitting. Really enjoyed it. A pioneering satire of gothic/romantic novels of the early 19th century .. slightly mocking Byron and Shelley etc

Finished John Lanchester's "Capital" .. Don't be put off by the title .. yes the credit-crunch is a central theme but several enjoyable intertwined tales of people residing and working in the fictional leafy Pepys Road in London - and who is behind the mysterious We Want What You've Got campaign ?

Just finished The Shadow Prince - a story about Richard of York/Perkin Warbeck. I found it rather boring to be honest

I'm just about to start The Queens Promise by Lyn Andrews - a story about Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII
